One day all the employees reached the office and they
saw a big notice on the door on which was written:
‘Yesterday the person who has been hindering your
growth in this company passed away. We invite you to
join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in
the gym’.
In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of
one of their colleagues, but after a while they
started getting curious to know who was that man who
hindered the growth of his colleagues and the company
itself. The excitement in the gym was such that
security agents were ordered to control the crowd
within the room.
The more people reached the coffin, the more the
excitement heated up. Everyone thought: ‘Who is this
guy who was hindering my progress? Well, at least he
died!’ One by one the thrilled employees got closer
to the coffin, and when they looked inside it they
suddenly became speechless. They stood nearby the
coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had
touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a
mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside
it could see himself.
There was also a sign next to the mirror that said:
‘There is only one person who is capable to set limits
to your growth: it is YOU. You are the only person who
can revolutionize your life. You are the only person
who can influence your happiness, your realization and
your success. You are the only person who can help
yourself. Your life does not change when your boss
changes, when your friends change, when your parents
change, when your partner changes, when your company
changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you
go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that
you are the only one responsible for your life. ‘The
most important relationship you can have is the one
you have with yourself’
Examine yourself, watch yourself. Don’t be afraid of
difficulties, impossibilities and losses: be a winner,
build yourself and your reality. It’s the way you face
Life that makes the difference
